Pretty much, yeah. I'll do it when my circumstances force me to ride on the sidewalk, but that's also because it's a wide MUP, and it's a single straight path from my house to my work...A path that would involve two left turns on a 45MPH major arterial road, because apparently the idea of making the only proper streets to get out of a little suburb relatively slow and safe for all the nice middle-class kids is just
crazy talk.
When going back home, since it's two right turns and I can just merge straight in at a dead point and keep to the right, I stay on the road unless I need to pull over to down some water.
